big week

not just sports this time--though emma's bball team had two games (won one, lost one), and Ben's had one (a "W") and has a tournament coming up this weekend--but the nation's new President. We all watched the inauguration on Tuesday in our different places. Since, we've talked a little about his speech, about the crowds, the music (which we loved), and the poems (which we didn't, save the old African American preacher who gave the benediction), and a lot about the awkwardness of the oath itself. I guess we've got high hopes for our new leader but also worry about all the challenges the country currently faces.

I don't know what to do. Middle of January and my bball season is over. I like getting home when its still light out. Matt's bball season starts tomorrow.
